I think this screams BRINEY IODINE! LOL I don't get any smoke and not much peat. It's a nice changeup from the smoky Ardbegs I usually like. Its pretty nice with just a bit of water.

Judy, Jul 31, 2020

too peaty for me

Michael, Jun 1, 2020

I prefer the standard 10 due to price range as of now but it still is a great expression UPDATE: this is so damn drinkable and I love it

Matthias, Apr 20, 2020

My first sip of Scotch whisky was the standard Laphroaig 10 and, surprisingly, that's what sparked my interest. The cask strength bottling has everything I want with nothing hidden. It beautifully peated and complex with a mouthfeel that speaks at greater and greater length the longer you chew. If I had to choose just one bottle for the rest of my life, this would be it without any hesitation.

Zach, Mar 30, 2020

Spicier, less funkier Laphroaig 10.

guest, Feb 17, 2020

Nose is slightly smoky but more like the aroma of bandaids. Taste is more medicinal initially, then finishes with sweeter and pepper notes. Good Islay whiskey although I prefer a little more smoke and earthy flavor.

Juan, Dec 9, 2019

My second attempt at peaty/smoky whisky. The initial whiff almost made me second guess what I had just gotten myself into but the first sip was reassured me that I had made the right choice without a doubt! The smoke is dominant but not overwhelming, followed by a wonderful light sweetness of honey and caramel followed by a slight taste of sea salt then finishes with strong peat smoke... all in all delicious!

Dennis, Oct 30, 2019

Peatiest around. Can be a bit acidic -- be ready for that kick.

Michael, Oct 26, 2019

Too smoky for me. Also a strange finish with a strong alcohol taste.

Jonathan, Oct 18, 2019

This is the best peated cs I've ever had price considered. It has the classic bite of Laphroaig and the higher alcohol content really preserves the flavor of the malt intended.

JOSH, Oct 2, 2019

Powerful as expected from cask strength, a good introduction to Laphroaig, i add about equal parts water, islay water bottled from the same source of course!

guest, Sep 7, 2019

This is my go to scotch.

Ray, Aug 2, 2019

Heavy smoke but well rounded, very enjoyable

Lawrence, Aug 1, 2019

Full bodied. Smoky. Not for the beginner. Seaweed. Peaty. Long lasting.

William, Jul 30, 2019

Another one of the love or hate whiskys that I love. Yes, it's a ton of iodine on top of the smoke, but it's distinct and remarkably consistent. Lagavulin is better of the type, but it's also about three times the price and it's not three times better.

Stefano, Jul 22, 2019

Nice and peaty

Stephanie, Jun 24, 2019

This was a gift for my son-in-law.

Ben, Jun 19, 2019

Exceptionally rounded for its age. Heavy smoke but that is to be expected from an Islay Scotch. A must have for any home bar/whisky enthusiast.

Colby, Jun 19, 2019

It is a good scotch but i'm not a huge fan of the smoky (Highlands) taste.

Michihiro, May 29, 2019

My first dram ever so it will always have a special place in my heart. Lots of peat and earth but if you enjoy Islay scotch then it’s near perfect

Brian, May 24, 2019

This is my favorite

Antoine, May 21, 2019

Smoked, but not too strong.

Hector, May 19, 2019

Wonderful

Viyan, May 15, 2019

Sweet and smoky with bite at the end (neat)

James, May 1, 2019

Love the intense smoke and peat flavor, I like it most served neat

Ruth, Apr 22, 2019

Very smoky, some caramel notes afterwards. not to my liking.

Javier, Mar 12, 2019

Love it. Great peat smoke. Great cask strength. A real gem

Charles, Feb 24, 2019

Peat. Peat. And repeat! This one is peaty.....and also delicious!

Robert, Feb 15, 2019

Like a 10 year but a tad stronger. This one I don’t drink neat

Robert, Feb 12, 2019

Smoke

Jerry, Feb 11, 2019

Literally a campfire in your mouth and I love it!

Mark, Feb 9, 2019

One of my all time favorites.

Cole, Jan 30, 2019

Peat, peat, peat with an uncharacteristically smooth finish.

Trey, Jan 22, 2019

V tastaaaaay

Alan, Jan 1, 2019

great peat unlocks with water

Jay, Dec 29, 2018

Really love the depth and complexity of this, but the finish didn’t just linger, it haunted me for hours.

John, Dec 21, 2018

To me, this is similar to Lagavulin 16 yr. but taken back a notch. A little softer and smoother, definitely a must for someone just getting into whiskeys. Cheaper on the pocket and good alternative to keep in stock if you don’t want to finish your favorites as quick in your home collection.

Brett, Dec 20, 2018

Smokey and hard to drink. In a good way

Bryan, Nov 22, 2018

Love the smoky, spicy flavor

Arvind, Nov 7, 2018

Another classic

Scott, Oct 29, 2018

Not a fan of that smoke

Andilee, Oct 21, 2018

Love the smoke and peat blend with the 10 year.

Brian, Oct 4, 2018

no

Steve, Sep 23, 2018

Excellent smoke/peet blend..

Angel, Sep 17, 2018

My Islay starter. Peated, smoky, profound. You love it or hate it. And I love it!

Andrew, Sep 11, 2018

Quite crazy how much better this is than the normal 10 year. Perfect woodspice, hot cherry notes, cola, mineral brine, all complimenting a very umami peatiness like bacon or grilled mushrooms.

Nathan, Sep 1, 2018

Ok 10/10 for its uniqueness, flavor is wow the strongest burnt ashtray and rubber I’ve ever had. Very strong to nose as well but I find it delightful. I wouldn’t say it’s an everyday sipper but for the cold days in Minnesota after shoveling 6 inches of snow this will definitely be the drink to warm the soul.

Burton, Sep 1, 2018

Delicious smoke, vanilla, caramel. Wonderful stuff!

Stephen, Aug 24, 2018

Love this Scotch for the right occasion. I can’t drink it everyday, but when I am in the mood for a party warming Scotch, this is my go to drink.

Christopher, Aug 12, 2018

If you like smoke, this Islay is the scotch for you. Smoke on the nose, super peaty finish. Nice burn. Not for everyone but I thoroughly enjoy a glass on the rocks. No more than 2 in one sitting.

James, Aug 10, 2018

Too smokey for my taste...

Monica, Aug 5, 2018

A great peaty dram.

Monica, Aug 5, 2018

A great, peaty draw.

Laura, Jul 29, 2018

Like taking a liquid bite of pure Mother Earth. Smoky, mossy, spicy, and pure delight.

Matthew, Jul 12, 2018

I love peaty scotches, this one is especially smoky and tasty, second favorite only to Triple Wood

guest, Jul 12, 2018

Mnam

Chris, Jun 11, 2018

Always in the mood for more peat so this is always a go to drink for me.

Lisa, Jun 6, 2018

Smoky and nice. Just ok though

Jeremy, May 21, 2018

It has a very strong antiseptic smell and if you want that smell staying with you for a little while then this is the scotch for you. It definitely not a Scotch to my taste.

Michael, May 1, 2018

Excellent scotch. Complex, smoky, peaty, delicious. Better than the regular 10!

Stephen, Apr 19, 2018

This is now my go-to scotch for a strong dose of smoke and peat. If you are reticent because if its cask strength, don’t be, the 10 yr Cask Strength is shockingly smooth.

John, Apr 18, 2018

One of my favorites. Smokey, peaty, a touch of sweetness to round it out. I enjoy the aroma almost as much as the taste.

guest, Apr 12, 2018

A bit too complex

Adam, Apr 11, 2018

Strong, peaty flavor

Sean, Apr 8, 2018

Too bitter for my liking

guest, Apr 1, 2018

Peaty, smoky, ethereal.

DODSTIL, Mar 22, 2018

This is Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky and it's the most recent scotch I have tried in many years. It's 116 proof and I'm glad I followed the instructions on the bottle because this is a very powerful scotch whisky,(I'm a light weight), but I like and want to experience other whiskies.

Thaine, Mar 21, 2018

My favorite whisky. Smooth and smokey. As the copy says, "Like kissing a mermaid who just ate BBQ."

Josh, Mar 15, 2018

Very strong smoke, oak, and peat. Really enjoy sipping.

Thomas, Mar 9, 2018

Got the smoke but shy of more flavorful Laphroaig selections. Good in a pinch and in most bars I venture into now.

Joe, Feb 28, 2018

Very smoky and peaty but has a strong great after taste that's last a long time

Gus, Jan 25, 2018

Perfect at quiet time or with a cigar.

guest, Jan 22, 2018

A wonderful, smokey Islay, more subtle then something like an Ardbeg.

CJ, Dec 28, 2017

Smoother than the quarter cask, but still with edge to enjoy.

Joshua, Dec 26, 2017

Very strong and peat-forward

Ryan, Dec 26, 2017

Too intense, but very good.

Daniel, Dec 25, 2017

Laphroaig always has great Scotch. This one is smokey and has a lot of phenols with a bit of a meaty salty taste. Not tasting any vanilla.

guest, Dec 22, 2017

This is a classic, tastes it and feels it.

Aiden, Dec 21, 2017

Go-to peaty scotch.

guest, Nov 29, 2017

Richtig rauchig. Im Abgang nicht spritlastig

guest, Nov 23, 2017

V

Ransome, Nov 18, 2017

Excellent for great, strong pete flavor

guest, Nov 8, 2017

Like the 10 on steroids.

Paul, Nov 7, 2017

strong, but not the greatest flavor...much prefer the regular 10-year

Ian, Oct 28, 2017

It is smooth but I am not partial to the smokey, peatey taste.

Matthew, Oct 13, 2017

Hoooo wee. That'll hit ya. Sure, add water. But that is still gonna spank your ass. Just like I like my ladies.

guest, Sep 1, 2017

Fresh,oily,much flavor.

Ty, Aug 14, 2017

Exceptionally good. One of the best whisky bargains around. Try Laphroaig 10 once to compare to the Cask Strength. Spend the extra $15, experiment with water, and never look back.

Mr., Aug 9, 2017

Turpentine burn

Aaron, Jul 15, 2017

Love the smokey flavor

Michael, Jun 28, 2017

SMOKE

Drake, May 12, 2017

too peaty

Wayne, Apr 20, 2017

This is my favorite Scotch. Runner up is Ardbeg. I also like Glenfiddich, usually 12 yr.

Crissie, Mar 15, 2017

Love the smokey smoothness

Aaron, Feb 26, 2017

Ok, it's like smoking a pipe, while stranded at sea, in the middle of a rain storm, with seaweed smacking you in the face. But in a good way. Really good!

Darrin, Feb 25, 2017

Smoky goodness, like a warm night campfire with marshmallows.

Derek, Feb 24, 2017

Not a fan of the punch you in the face peaty profile

Chris, Jan 25, 2017

Obvious peaty influence that finishes nice with water added. Smokey with a medium warming.

guest, Dec 31, 2016

Good but too peaty for my taste

Mark, Dec 30, 2016

Excellent pear and smoke flavors. My new favorite!

Nicholas, Dec 29, 2016

My favorite! I adore the smoke and the rich flavor if this whisky. It is unlike any other scotch in existence.

guest, Dec 20, 2016

Smoky and medicinal

James, Dec 14, 2016

So smoky, so delicious

Aric, Nov 25, 2016

Not bad. Heavy smoke after the first bite.

Joel, Nov 19, 2016

Very smoky, smooth.

guest, Nov 14, 2016

I am not much of a fan of the medicinal taste as much as I thought I was.

Reginald, Nov 13, 2016

Akin to sipping liquid funk. Not to my taste.

Richard, Nov 13, 2016

I just adore cask strength. Really let's you see the whisky evolve with water. It's classic Laphroaig with smoke, Band-Aids,and then cherries and fruit with water. Really good. Batch 007

Roger, Nov 3, 2016

Bottled perfection. Love it.

Chris, Oct 3, 2016

Probably the greatest introduction to Islay whiskies on the market. It does punch you in the face, but once your olfactory senses are used to it, opens up and reveals the other flavors in its profile.

Chrisman, Sep 25, 2016

It's got the peat I like. But I like Lagavulin 16-year-old better.

Brandon, Sep 6, 2016

Fruity. Next to no bite.

guest, Sep 1, 2016

It's like being hit in the teeth with a glowing log from last night's campfire on a damp autumn morning and then that log quickly becomes your new best friend.
